"Çinlar’s course [ORF 309, Probability and Stochastic Systems] is a high-level mathematics course … But it attracts students from a wide range of disciplines. In recent years, students from the other five engineering departments at Princeton have taken his class, and a fourth of his students are from outside engineering. His class has included students majoring in mathematics, physics, molecular biology, psychology, sociology, German and classics." (EQUAD News)

"[Peter] Frazier is creating a series of mathematical algorithms that optimize decision-making in the face of uncertainty. His algorithms 'learn' from decisions as they are made, so that better decisions can be made in the future. His mathematical techniques have a wide range of applications, from identifying promising drug candidates to figuring out the best evacuation plan in the event of a natural disaster ... This spring Frazier and [Prof. Warren] Powell taught 'Optimal Learning,' a new course built on Frazier’s cutting-edge work." (EQUAD News)

Prof. Vanderbei has revised his Purple America map for the 2008 presidential election "using aggregated polls from the most recent month as tabulated by Real Clear Politics" and tinting the map accordingly in order to create a visual representation of state-by-state results.
